As time goes by I still feel nothing. 

I don’t understand how i can be so numb. 

Numb to the touch,

Numb to the mind,

Numb to the thought,

The thought of it all. 

After that day, 

When you walked away 

I stopped understanding, 

I stopped feeling.

But then, there came that day 

When once again i slowly began to understand 

I began to feel all the emotions 

Everything I was afraid of 

Everything I tried to avoid 

Over the years I finally understood

Why it was that you left 

And i accepted it 

I moved on

And I learned to live on my own

Happy once again 

Over the years I learned to feel again.
